Consider This: Drug Policy Reform — How the War on Drugs Fuels Organised Crime

Neil Woods is a former undercover police officer who spent 14 years infiltrating some of the UK’s most dangerous criminal networks.

On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris explores how the war on drugs and prohibition policies have created lucrative black markets, which are often controlled by organised crime groups. Neil Woods is a board member of the Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP) which is a group made up entirely of serving and former police and other law enforcement, advocating for evidence-based drug policy and criminal justice reforms.
